substantia nigra

The hope was that fetal substantia nigra cells might take over for them.

The substantia nigra is a part of the brain.

A small area in the brain stem called the substantia nigra controls movement.

There are important interspecific differences in the organization of the substantia nigra.

It also involves the substantia nigra, a part of the midbrain.

The substantia nigra is critical in the development of many diseases, including Parkinson's disease.

Many of the substantia nigra's effects are mediated through the striatum.

It occurs when an area of the brain, the substantia nigra, inexplicably dies.

Similar changes may also be seen in the thalamus, substantia nigra and putamen.

However, with this treatment the number of substantia nigra neurons decrease so it becomes less efficient.

It is located in the tegmentum of the midbrain next to the substantia nigra.

Inactivation of the substantia nigra could prove to be a possible treatment for cocaine addiction.

Levodopa supplies a chemical, dopamine, that is made by the substantia nigra.

It damages nerve cells (neurons) in a part of the brain called the substantia nigra.

However, no direct correlation between skin color and the level of melanin in the substantia nigra has been observed.

Substantia nigra, a portion of the brain associated with dopamine production

It is also dorsal to the substantia nigra and medial to the internal capsule.

The substantia nigra, along with four other nuclei, is part of the basal ganglia.

Another problem in the primate substantia nigra is that the pale part does not constitute a single entity.

It is, however, on most of its dorsal border not covered by the substantia nigra compacta.

A horizontal cross section at the level of the inferior colliculus still shows the substantia nigra.

The disease presents when 80% of the neurons that produce dopamine in the substantia nigra die.

Most of these circuits run through the striatum, which receives dopamine from the substantia nigra.

The main symptoms are caused by massive loss of dopamine-secreting cells in the substantia nigra.

Loss of dopamine neurons in the substantia nigra has been linked to Parkinson's disease.
